"The Bachelors with eighteen hit records in the UK charts
throughout the 1960s and selling millions of records around the
world, became one of the top acts, both in recording and stage
entertainment.
In 1964, The Bachelors put more records into the UK top ten than
The Beatles. They were probably the biggest record sellers,
showing for an amazing 77 weeks in the UK charts, compared to
"The Beatles" 50 weeks, plus reaching number one, with titles
"Diane" and "I Believe."
Many hits followed throughout the world, especially in the Far
East and Australia, plus having hit singles in the US billboard
charts with "Diane" and "Charmaine" reaching No2, and many
successful albums.
The UK market was very demanding on The Bachelors time, with the
long seasons booked in the top theatres in London and around the
country, which left little time for promotion in the US, apart
from a couple of appearances on the Ed Sullivan show and the
Johnny Carson show, plus some of the other top TV shows there.
The Bachelors enjoyed great success through the seventies to mid
eighties, but opinions within the group were conflicting. The
choice was to continue or to update with modern ideas.
Founder members Con & Dec Cluskey, the progressive ones,
dismissed John Stokes in 1984.
The successful result of this is now obvious, as
Con & Dec "The
Bachelors" are once again one of the top acts in the UK and in
big demand for the top theatre and cabaret venues, appearing in
Summer Season at the famous 'Opera House' in Blackpool, one of
Gt. Britain's premier theatres.
The last two years were taken up with recording, getting into
the Album Charts at No. 5, European Cruises, theatre and cabaret
shows in the UK.
and throughout the world.

3 Disappointed Fans this year so far!
Hi Con
Thanks very much for the reply which I've just received
My, how right you were...I walked out half-way through the
concert with an audience of about 50 (and I was supposed to be
reviewing it!)...it was a complete shambles and that's putting
it politely
One final thing, you can rest assured that I will be contacting
the Fairfield Halls management team and their press office with
my thoughts on the concert and who knows, you might well wind up
with a gig there yourselves...stranger things have happened and
wouldn't it be a slap in the face to Mr Stokes!!!
Anyhow...onwards and upwards and please pass on my regards to
Dec
Slainte for now
